A-Team Group is delighted to announce the winners of the inaugural Capital Markets Technology APAC Awards 2025, celebrating the leading solution providers and innovators shaping the future of trading in the Asia Pacific region.

This article provides a focused look at the key technological developments across the trading lifecycle, from foundational infrastructure to specialised execution platforms, and the award categories that recognise excellence in these areas.

The Bedrock of Modern Trading: Speed, Data, and Connectivity

The relentless quest for speed, efficiency, and reliability remains a central theme in APAC’s trading technology landscape. Access to high-quality, low-latency market data and resilient, high-performance network services forms the essential bedrock upon which all modern trading strategies are built. The winners in our foundational infrastructure categories are recognised for providing this critical advantage.

To discover the firms leading the market in providing granular data, low-latency feeds, and robust connectivity, see the winners for Best Market Data Provider, Best Low Latency Data Feed, and Best High Performance Network Services in the full report.

Evolving the Trader’s Toolkit: Sophistication in OMS and EMS

As trading becomes more complex and multi-asset in nature, the evolution of Order Management Systems (OMS) and Execution Management Systems (EMS) is crucial. Firms on both the buy-side and sell-side require sophisticated platforms that offer comprehensive asset class coverage, integrated analytics, smart order routing, and robust pre-trade risk controls to navigate APAC’s diverse market structures.

This year’s awards recognise the leaders in this space, celebrating the top solutions for Best Buy-Side OEMS, Best Sell-Side EMS, and Best Sell-Side OMS. Download the report to find out which providers earned these prestigious accolades for their powerful and comprehensive platforms.

Mastering Complexity with Specialised Trading Solutions

Beyond core platforms, the APAC region’s unique market characteristics demand specialised trading solutions tailored to the nuances of different asset classes. From the fragmented liquidity in fixed income to the prevalence of NDFs in FX, having the right tools for the job is paramount for achieving best execution and managing risk effectively.

Our 2025 awards highlight the providers excelling in these specialised domains. The full report reveals the winners for Best Foreign Exchange (FX) Trading Solution, Best Fixed Income Trading Solution, Best Equities Trading Solution, and Best Listed Derivatives Trading Solution, showcasing the firms that are helping traders master complexity across the asset classes.

Conclusion

The trading technology landscape in Asia Pacific is advancing on multiple fronts. Success requires a combination of high-performance foundational infrastructure, sophisticated and flexible OMS/EMS platforms, and specialised solutions that can master the complexities of each asset class. The winners of the 2025 awards exemplify excellence across this entire spectrum.
